How is the salmon fishing going on rhododendron?
Careful, coho retention in the river isn't open until the 15th.Landed this one this morning!
If it was a coho it would of been released but the all black lower jaw made it a keeper!

According to what I've read and pictures I've seen this is a chinook. The two older gentlemen that helped me land and net it agreed it was a nook, were we wrong?

Definitely a chinook. Nice catch! The ones you have to be careful with are the really big coho that sometimes have bigger spots and a black gum line but will still have white base around the teeth. I caught a few last year that I swore were chinook until close inspection of the teeth.

I thought the same thing when i first saw how many scales the fish had lost, but then when i zoomed in i could see the spots on the tail. Estuary or oven fish can be so tricky at times.for sure, the picture I posted from the regs. is an easy to identify coho, I have seen some that have lots more dark area in the lower jaw but the gums right around the teeth are what to focus on..
2 20 plus pound fish caught today both nooks!
